Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) has been successfully used to synthesize various nanostructured polymers with controlled composition, topology and functionality. ATRP was carried out with ppm amounts of very active catalysts that can be externally mediated in spatiotemporal way. The resulting (co)polymers include block, graft and gradient copolymers, telechelics, densely grafted molecular brushes as well as organic/inorganic hybrids and bioconjugates with proteins and nucleic acids. Their properties and applications as specialty advanced materials in energy, environment and biomedical fields will be discussed.
